If any place said a 30% tip is so so, I’m not tipping.

If I saw this I would give them exactly what I think they’re worth. $0.01 and a bad online review.
YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 3 months ago
If you said “$.02 (point oh two) and a bad online review” it would’ve had an extra layer and sounded cooler while rhyming.

If you can’t afford living wages for your staff so they’re not dependant on tips, your store shouldn’t be open.
NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Everyone should make a living wage. “Oh, but then the price of my McDonald’s cheeseburger will skyrocket!!” Fucking good. If it’s not economical to produce a product without abusing people, that product shouldn’t fucking exist.

“Oh, but then the price of my McDonald’s cheeseburger will skyrocket!!” Fucking good
I don’t know why people keep repeating this propaganda. Plenty of countries pay actual wages to their employees, don’t have a tipping, and the prices are still fucking cheaper than America.
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 months ago
They did away with most of their staff and their prices went up over 100% over the last 5 years or so anyway. It’s corporate greed all the way down.

There’s no hill to assault, I don’t think anybody except the abusers disagree with you.

Hamburgling used to be a decent profession. Now with such cheap burgers all those skilled workers are left out.
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Paying people a living wage would only increase the price by pennies. This is just another “conservative” taking point without any basis in reality.
victorz@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I wonder how many damn products we use on a daily basis that have been produced with some level of abuse along the production chain. Probably easier to count the ones without abuse, eh.

I absolutely will pick the no-tips place given a choice, but I take issue with that wording. Basically every business pays as little as possible, by design.

Certainly not lol, what a ridiculous thing to say
Freefall@lemmy.world 3 months ago
10-15% IF you went above and beyond or performed particularly well. It’s a tip, I am not your employer. I used to be a huge tipper until I realized just how fucked that whole system is.
ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 3 months ago
Pre-tip? I think that’s called a bribe
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 months ago
That’s what tips are. A bribe for your next visit
BakerBagel@midwest.social 3 months ago
Complain all you want, but not tipping is straight up taking money from someone who is getting paid $5 an hour. Complain to ownership, write your congressman and state legislators, but not tipping only punishes someone who is barely scrapping by.
SoJB@lemmy.ml 3 months ago
So, dear reader, notice how whenever defenders of tipping come along, it’s always the same story.
Oh boohoo my poor minimum wage (which is pegged to the same minimum wage as non-tipped workers in states where most people live).
Ever wonder why it’s always about the minimum wage and never about how much money they make?
Any server with 2 brain cells clears $40 an hour in untaxed cash wages every shift.
They never report it on their taxes, and yet they will cry about their poor wittle wage at every opportunity expecting people that make half their salary to tip them 100% for rudely dropping off a plate once and never coming back, making you wait 20 minutes to close a check.
Notice the pattern. Remember how I was right next time.
michaelmrose@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Also tipping is for actual table service. If you just hand me some food I’m not tipping you for handing me food.
TheKMAP@lemmynsfw.com 3 months ago
Your opinion is a result of class warfare propaganda, to get working class people arguing with each other. Direct your anger to the employer.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I’m tired of this excuse. These people took the job knowing what the pay rate was, and are demanding the customer pay their salary directly rather than the employer like virtually any other conventional job does. Customers have had it, they’re being told to give employees raises along with rising food costs, even at businesses that don’t do a damn thing for the customer except maybe hand them a to-go box. 20% for that? F no. Grow a spine and demand real pay, people have had it. IDK how I can travel almost any modern place else in the world, pay for a good meal, and only have to leave the approximation of $1 or so for appreciation of the service, but in America I pay for the food and a separate charge for the employee’s “pay”.
beastlykings@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Those same people only getting paid 5 an hour have literally fought and complained against any attempts to change the law and bring a proper wage. Why? Because they make more in tips than they would hourly. Whole system is messed up.
viking@infosec.pub 3 months ago
Not tipping is not giving my money away for nothing.
Tipping culture creates unwarranted expectations and removes obligations from employers.
I’ve stopped tipping decades ago and won’t look back.
Nindelofocho@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Its unfortunately a catch 22 though because continuing to tip kinda enables it to keep happening if everyone stopped tipping then places would likely have to pay a decent wage in order to get people to work as even if you’re extremely desperate for money its still not really worth it to work for tipped minimum wage with no tips also im not sure if it applies to all places but if your compensation + tips falls below the federal minimim wage the company must pay you the difference if I am not mistaken
michaelmrose@lemmy.world 3 months ago
In WA everyone is paid at least 16 an hour, over 20 in Seattle and in many high COL areas.

zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Yes. If you can’t afford to leave a decent tip, then don’t get the service.
LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 3 months ago
What’s pre-tipping? A tip before you’ve even had service?
Texas_Hangover@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Its what you have to do these days if you want your uber to show up in a reasonable amount of time.
Freefall@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Yup. Delivery services (like DoorDash or Domino’s) and the like tend to do it. They also show your tip to the person. You end up getting service based on your tip instead of the other way around.
tabularasa@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
Pre-tipping is how rub and tug’s work. For real.
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 months ago
In Vegas start with a large pre tip for your waitress. That gets you drunk pretty quickly
RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 3 months ago
I don’t think 10-15% has been considered a reasonable tip for “above and beyond” since the 80s. Most will take that as an insult worse than not tipping, funnily enough.
As for pre-tips, they (intentionally?) design the checkout process such that if there’s a pre-tip, there is no post-tip. It’s basically a “don’t spit in my burger” fee.
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
This would be an automatic “custom” > 0% for me. Sorry, not sorry.
zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Back when 15% was considered standard I liked tipping closer to 30%, but as a direct result of the push to try to make 15% seem low I no longer tip more than 15%.
Kyatto@leminal.space 3 months ago
My tipping follows the inverse of how much I am paying for the product. If the product is well priced and the service was good I have been known to tip 100% for excellent service. Now that everything is nearly double the cost of what it used to be I am more inclined to tip 50 cents to a dollar max.
They should be paying exceptionally well for what they are charging, but we know that isn’t the case. I don’t have unlimited wealth to spend either, fuck me for being poor and wanting some comfort “restaurant” food occasionally.
IamAnonymous@lemmy.world 3 months ago
The food prices went up 20% so my logic is if I continue to tip the same % the waiters should still make more money. Increasing the food prices and also doubling the tip is just double dipping. My work isn’t paying me 20% more every year so I can’t be paying for everyone’s inflation.
BakerBagel@midwest.social 3 months ago
All you are doing is punishing some poor server who has no control of the price. The owner who is actually fucking both you and the staff over is unaffected.
zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I’m punishing them by giving them what was until 10 years ago considered an excellent and standard tip?
Not to mention that servers are, as a general group, extremely opposed to dismantling the tip system as a whole. My complaint wasn’t about raised food prices, which the owner would be in control of - it was about raised tipping percentage expectations. I refuse to contribute to the steadily rising expectation of how much a tip should be, and regret my past contributions to that trend.
1984@lemmy.today 3 months ago
Maybe the restaurants should pay their employees so customers don’t have to pay them? I know it’s a radical thought.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 months ago
Honestly it should be both. Restaurants should pay minimum wage at the very least and then customers should be able to tip if they want. I have no issue tipping if the server did a good job. However, I’m not going to tip bad service.
wolfpack86@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I hate to break this to you, but the customer pays in all scenarios.
But, yes, the employer should pay a living wage and include their overhead costs into the price of the goods.
scarabic@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Especially because a lot of people in this thread seem to protest the tipping system by just not tipping. That only hurts the worker, y’all. It isn’t gonna change the system.
stevedice@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Select “Custom” and type 0.00 without breaking eye contact. Be careful, though, that 0.00 can quickly turn into 8.88 if you’re not looking.

If this is presented to me somewhere you pay before consuming your food/purchase, I’m leaving without paying.CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 months ago
They know there’s soft, weak people like me that find it painful because the guy in front of you can see it. I mean, I’m a good principled person and I’ve still done it, but I felt like trash in the process.
I guess it was just a matter of time before other classes than the bottom one figured out aggressive panhandling.
Woht24@lemmy.world 3 months ago

boonhet@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Man I’d leave a 1% tip just in case someone sees it and realizes that it was on purpose because I’m annoyed with the system
Also, holy hell, am I glad to live in a country that doesn’t do tipping*. It was a bit weird going to the US and not knowing when to tip and when not to, but I doubt I’ll be revisiting y’all in the next 4 years anyway :(
*At restaurants with table service, it’s considered polite, but not necessary, to tip.
VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 months ago

If they give me the No Tip option, I usually tip a little bit.

It doesn’t have to be like this, America. Not only is tipping not expected in Australia, but when the “Choose tip” screen comes up on US made software, all the servers I’ve ever had skip straight through it and choose zero.
Servers deserve to be paid fairly.
Vinstaal0@lemmy.world 3 months ago
The moment they ask for a tip they are not getting anything nor a repeat customer.

I frequent a bagel place that automatically adds a fairly hefty (not THAT hefty) tip when you pre-order online for in-store pickup.
If not for the fact that they are by far the best place to go for bagels in my area (we have few choices), that alone would stop me from ordering.
Their bagels are good, and I’m not above tipping at a bagel place. But their prices are already very high for a bagel place (they know what they got), they do brisk business, and they should damn well be paying their employees more rather than trying to sneak a 25% tip into every online order. It doesn’t even present it as in OP - it’s just there in the itemization in the end and you need to manually edit it out before ordering.

Honestly if it starts at 30% then im 0% tipping and they can fuck right off.
hOrni@lemmy.world 3 months ago
30% is “soso” but a 100% is only “Thank You”? In this case the 100% should be “Walk over to the other side of the register so the boss can blow You”.
Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz 3 months ago
Isn’t 10% the usual tip amount?
BlueLineBae@midwest.social 3 months ago
I’ve actually seen 2 recent practices that I hate more than this. While this is frustrating, at least you can input a custom tip. I’ve also seen them where they show 3 different dollar amounts that don’t indicate percentage but doing the math, it’s definitely way over the usual 20%. Then there’s the one I hate the most which I keep seeing at places where you don’t usually tip. You go to pay with your card and the little transaction/card machine shows different tip amounts, the default of which is already set. If you don’t want to leave a tip, you have to figure out which button to push to do so. They’re all different and it can be very confusing. I even saw one where each option was labeled in correlation with a button on the screen, except that they didn’t match up. And what do you do then? Ask the person at the register how not to tip them?

What… “I’ve never seen the least of those until a decade ago”. It’s such a weird comment, like if someone said they got their first EV and you reply with “I never had a vehicle at all until 25 years ago.” See how incredibly odd that is? It’s got major “I like turtles” feel, even though it’s on topic.
vincenttwice@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I have seen similar suggestion levels including 100% in Vegas, Seattle, and other large metro areas.
If I saw a 30% option described by the establishment as “soso”, I would strongly consider stepping away “to the bathroom” forever.
UnculturedSwine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 months ago
Especially labelling 30% “soso” and 40% “ok”. Unless they are bussing my tables, they get 0%. Otherwise it’s 15-20.
